====== Postfix + Dovecot on CentOS ======

  * CentOS-7
  * Possible on one system, or on two separate systems (all connections between Postfix and Dovecot are over the network).
  * One user-database (SASL serviced by Dovecot).
  * virtual-users (no unix-users on the system for the users of the mailstore).
  * Delivery from Postfix to Dovecot with LMTP over localhost or the public-ip with 24/tcp
  * SASL username/pw lookups over localhost or the public-ip with 12345/tcp
  * 2 mailboxes (2 mailadresses each).

===== Dovecot =====

Hostname: vps2.laboratory.local

firewall:
  firewall-cmd --add-port={24/tcp,143/tcp,993/tcp,4190/tcp,12345/tcp} --permanent
  firewall-cmd --reload

Software:
  yum install  dovecot

En voeg toe voor Sieve:
  yum install dovecot-pigeonhole


Create directories and files:
  mkdir /var/dovecot/
  mkdir /var/dovecot/mail
  mkdir /var/dovecot/sieve
  mkdir /var/dovecot/conf
  #
  touch /var/dovecot/conf/users
  #
  chown -R dovecot:dovecot  /var/dovecot
  touch /var/log/dovecot.log
  chown dovecot:dovecot /var/log/dovecot.log

Make x509 certs:
  openssl req -utf8 -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout /var/dovecot/conf/tls.key -nodes -x509 -days 3650 -out /var/dovecot/conf/tls.crt -set_serial 0



Create usernames and pw's (for the SASL-db):

The IMAP-users are created by adding a line in the users file. It has two columns, separated by a colon. The first column is the username, the second line contans the sha512-crypt which can be generated by executing:

  doveadm pw -s SHA512-CRYPT

The result in /var/dovecot/conf/users will be like:

  ...
  sv:{SHA512-CRYPT}$6$T5tUmkrjF2mAbo9G$3EEvR08UCHb11KCmCHbCaPcd1xv7CylpfdZgu3gv0WddRZGoF1drU62aHHEU9U4VTeTsM/wlxI2svBXsd7auX0

Make a connection with each mailbox with a MUA (mutt or Thunderbird) first **before** sending mail to the LMTP-connection. This will let Dovecot create the mailfolder structure for the mailbox to be stored.
